— COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, Democrats demonize, denigrate, and condemn assimilation. All my ancestors immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s from what is now Germany.

My grandparents spoke German.)

They used that pay cut to hint/imply/argue/shout that the following was worthless: a) my having almost 9 years of experience working for IRS, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $88,229-$99,994/year, b) my having passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and c) my having earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976.)

Most recently, my Wheaton critics/opponents, their Wheaton operatives, and their Wheaton dupes stopped Wheaton from letting me raise funds from Republicans so that Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks. I should write a book about my Wheaton critics/opponents, their Wheaton operatives, and their Wheaton dupes. Better yet, I should sue them.)

CREATORS SYNDICATE
— How Different Would America Be Today if Trump Were Still President? – Wayne Allyn Root
https://www.creators.com/read/wayne-allyn-root/10/22/how-different-would-america-be-today-if-trump-were-still-president
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If Trump were still president…We would have energy independence. We’d be selling our oil and gas to other countries all over the world. Gas would be $3 per gallon and middle-class Americans would be enjoying low prices and record prosperity. OPEC would no longer have power over our lives, and we certainly would not be begging our socialist enemy Venezuela for an oil deal. We would have low to zero inflation. Groceries would cost dramatically less than they do now. Middle-class consumers would be dancing in the aisles. The stock market would be thousands of points higher. Trillions of dollars have been lost since Biden became president. All those trillions would be back in the hands of consumers, business owners and the retirement accounts of Americans. Russia would have never invaded Ukraine — so, not only would there be no threat of World War III or “nuclear Armageddon,” but American taxpayers would have an extra $100 billion still in the bank (that’s the money we’ve given away to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his Ukrainian mafia and Nazi cronies). North Korea wouldn’t be shooting rockets over Japan. Iran would be broke — starved of funding by Trump. The Taliban would not have $80 billion of our military equipment. And 13 U.S. soldiers would still be alive, looking forward to Christmas at home with their families. Our cities would not have been destroyed by the worst crime wave in history — simply because Trump doesn’t allow violent criminals to walk free while defunding and demoralizing police. A large percentage of police would not have retired in the past 22 months. We’d have plenty of cops to keep us safe. How many Americans out of the tens of thousands murdered since Biden took over would be alive and looking forward to Christmas with their families? Brittney Griner, the WNBA star in a Russian prison cell, would be home with her wife and family. Trump and Putin would have negotiated her release in a matter of days. There would certainly not be 87,000 new IRS agents hired to harass, intimidate and bankrupt the American people. Although Trump and I disagree on the COVID-19 vaccine, if Trump were still president, millions of Americans would never have been forced to take the experimental jab or risk losing their job. Trump is strongly against mandates. He would never have forced one American to take the vaccine against their will. How many Americans would still be alive or uninjured today, if never forced to take the vaccine by Biden’s mandate? How many would still have their jobs? I saved the most important for last: open borders. With Trump in the White House, we’d have a secure border. That means five million new migrants allowed in since Biden became president wouldn’t be in our country. How many billions of dollars would be saved? Think of all the criminals who have come through that open border. How many Americans murdered in the past 22 months would still be alive? How many communities and schools would be safer? If Trump were still president, America would be a much nicer, wealthier, healthier and safer place. There’d be prosperity instead of inflation. We’d still be dominating the world, instead of facing World War III. America would be great again. What a difference. Night and day. Life and death.)

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN
— An epidemic of cognitive impairment? – Victor Davis Hanson
https://www.semissourian.com/story/2967534.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Joe Biden, the nominal head of the Democratic Party, is 79. But he increasingly acts and sounds 89. Recently, Biden has pivoted repeatedly on stage with his arm outstretched to shake the hand — of someone not there. On one recent occasion Biden called out for Rep. Jackie Walorski, R-Ind., who passed away in a car crash in early August. He was insistent, shouting to the crowd, “Jackie, are you here? Where’s Jackie? I think she wasn’t going to be here — to help make this a reality.” Biden’s fantasy was the reality that Walorski is no longer with us. Biden slurs his words. He truncates sentences. He speaks in a muddled voice that often makes comprehension impossible. When questioned, he grows irate, growls, and stutters. Biden’s messaging is even more confused than his medium. On any given day, Biden may impetuously announce that U.S. soldiers will defend the soil of Taiwan, or that the “killer” Russian President Vladimir Putin, unhinged head of nuclear Russia, must be removed from office promptly. If Biden doesn’t like a question, he may deride the reporter as a “stupid son of a [expletive].” He habitually lies about everything from COVID-19 vaccinations being unavailable until his presidency to the nature of his son’s military service. Biden confuses Iran with Ukraine. He calls a senior African American assistant “my boy.” For much of the Trump presidency, leftist opponents sought to remove him by the 25th Amendment. A Yale psychiatrist diagnosed Trump in absentia and declared him deserving of a straitjacket forced intervention. Partisan charges grew so intense that Trump voluntarily took — and aced — the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. Strangely, the same Left armchair psychiatrists offer no such worries about Biden’s clear mental decline. One reason Biden enjoys immunity from removal is that his 57-year-old vice president, Kamala Harris, is seen to be even more incoherent and ill-informed. Harris cannot plead age as the cause of her mental confusion. Yet, the more the public sees and hears Harris’ mixed-up word salads, and bizarre cackling spells, the more it is convinced that she is either ignorant or intellectually lazy — or both.)

— A Proclamation on Columbus Day, 2022
https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2022/10/07/a-proclamation-on-columbus-day-2022/
(FROM THE PROCLAMATION: Things have not always been easy; prejudice and violence often stalled the promise of equal opportunity. In fact, Columbus Day was created by President Harrison in 1892 in response to the anti-Italian motivated lynching of 11 Italian Americans in New Orleans in 1891. During World War II, Italian Americans were even targeted as enemy aliens. But the hard work, dedication to community, and leadership of Italian Americans in every industry make our country stronger, more prosperous, and more vibrant. The Italian American community is also a cornerstone of our Nation’s close and enduring relationship with Italy — a vital NATO Ally and European Union partner. Today, the partnership between Italy and the United States is at the heart of our efforts to tackle the most pressing global challenges of our time, including supporting Ukraine as it defends its freedom and democracy.)
